03
Developed a Life Cycle Assessment-based material strategy, achieving a Grade A benchmark carbon footprint.
04
Created a compliance pathway spanning EnerPHit, BREEAM, and Historic England requirements.
05
Devised a phased intervention strategy (shallow to deep retrofit) to safeguard historic character.
PROJECT IN NUMBERS
01
92% predicted reduction in energy use
02
Operational CO₂e reduced from 97.6% to 61.0%
03
Airtightness improved to 1.0 ACH @ 50 Pa
04
Cradle-to-grave carbon footprint reduced to 334 kg CO₂e/m²
05
